The Etsy listing has only one photo. The description says the items they ‘offer’ are ‘entirely hand made’. I find it hard to believe some person in India is handmaking a million wool fest balls and forming them into rugs all by themselves. (and then not be able to photograph it more than once)

I smell handcrafted mass production here.

I’m not sure, but an item like this may have been called out before.

Was shocked to see a commercial product in Etsy Finds, again. I know there are actual handmade by seller rugs on Etsy.

I thought I was on e-bay for a moment when I read the product descriptions in this shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/sistersdress where they boast in their announcement that “95% of their factory workers and designers are female”.
seriously- if I can find this shop just by doing a simple search for prom dresses- why can’t etsy do the same?

I think the sellers are a little confused as to what Etsy is SUPPOSED to be all about… The whole darn store needs to be flagged- and shut down.

I had to do a double take when I saw the e-mail containing the Storque blog for Etsy’s Fashion Week post 9/24. Who does these? Are these people who do these blogs so young that they don’t know that Isotoner gloves are still made, and with no tag showing manufacture date for the gloves, there is no way of proving they are “vintage” in any way?

According to Wikipedia, the company was founded in 1997. Prior to 1997, it was known as the Aris company and would be tagged as such. The style is Isotoner. Sso if they’re tagged with the Isotoner logo, they’ve been manufactured since 1997. Wikipedia link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totes%C2%BBISOTONER

Prior to 1997, the brand was Aris. The style was Isotoner. They would be tagged as Aris.

Aris has made gloves since 1970; however, the gloves in the Etsy finds email are not vintage. They’re being sold currently on Isotoner’s website, and Wal-Mart has them for sale in the accessories aisle.

I bought body butter from this seller and then later happened to notice this. From someone who makes her own mineral makeup AND presses her own shadows, those are NOT handmade. You can’t even get those cute little containers anywhere from the main mineral sellers. They totally look like something she bought wholesale from somewhere. I mean just look at the product photos, each eyeshadow colour is depicted with the exact same photo! definitely not her own photos too!
